Jon Montgomery, Olympic Champion Event: Skeleton Date of birth: May 6, 1979 Hometown: Russell, Manitoba Travels from: Calgary, Alberta Site: www.jonmontgomery.ca Career Highlights: • 2010 Olympic Champion – Skeleton • Host, The Amazing Race Canada • Host, 2016 JUNO Awards • 2016 Canadian Screen Award (Host, Reality Star) • Canada’s Celebrity Auctioneer Background: Jon Montgomery’s life has been a whirlwind since his Olympic win in skeleton, his big-time podium moment to get the gold medal, and his now-famous victory walk through Whistler Village. But he’s about more than just the frosty, golden beer that gave him instant folk- hero status with so many people from coast-to-coast-to-coast. From an appearance on Oprah, to the overwhelming homecoming in Russell, Manitoba and a presentation at the JUNO Awards — where he auctioned off Manifesto Sport Management 220-10 Street NE Calgary, Alberta Canada T2E 4M1 teen-idol Justin Bieber’s cell number on the streets of St. John’s — Jon has been sharing his Olympic success and national pride with as many Canadians as possible. Today, as the host of The Amazing Race Canada, he's been across the country and all over the world sharing his insights on what makes Canada great on the top television show in the country. In 2016, Jon added another first to his growing resume as the co-host of the JUNO Awards with eight-time recipient Jann Arden. And, the hard work of hosting The Amazing Race Canada paid off when he received the 2016 Canadian Screen Award for Best Host of a Reality TV Series. It might just be time for another celebratory beer walk. Jon welcomes the opportunity to get together with corporate audiences, maybe auction off something sentimental for your charity, or engage your employees with stories of a young guy from the prairies who reminded us all that it’s alright to be proudly Canadian and celebrate the good times. That’s being Jon Montgomery.
